Abstract

The article reviews an investigation published in a 2015 issue of the "American Journal of Health Behavior" that examined whether regulatory focus and proximity to weight moderated the effectiveness of a weight-loss maintenance intervention. Topics include the finding that maintenance of weight loss may be enhanced by tailoring treatments to regulatory focus and goal weight. Also mentioned is regulatory focus theory proposing two self-regulatory orientations of promotion and prevention foci.

Abstract

Objectives: To assess the correlates of parental classification of adolescent weight status. Methods: Measured adolescent weight status was compared to parent self-report perception data (n=374 dyads) using multivariate analyses with interactions to identify characteristics associated with inaccurate parent classification of adolescent weight status. Results: Adolescent weight status was underestimated by 31% of parents. College-educated parents were more likely to underestimate the weight of their male adolescents (OR=1.95) and overweight adolescents (OR=4.0). Non-college-educated parents were 8.92 times as likely to misclassify overweight adolescents, regardless of the sex of the child. Conclusions: Parental perception may play a role in supporting adolescent's healthy weight-related behaviors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
